Peittokylvö

Peittokylvö is a type of sandwich originating from Finland. The term "peittokylvö" can be translated to "dirt sandwich" in English, but it does not literally consist of dirt. Instead, it is a common food item in Finnish cuisine made from a mixture of mortadella or other cold cuts and mayonnaise, spread between two slices of bread.

The fillings of a peittokylvö can vary, but the most common combination is of mortadella and mayonnaise. Other meats such as ham, chicken, or salami are sometimes used, and some individuals add chopped onions or chives for added flavor. The filling can also be modified by the addition of pickles, cheese, or mustard.

In Finnish culture, the peittokylvö has been popular for many decades and is often served as a quick and easy meal or snack. It is also commonly packed in the lunchboxes of Finnish schoolchildren. The peittokylvö is considered a comforting food by many in Finland and is often associated with memories of childhood.

The consumption of peittokylvö has been declining somewhat in Finland in recent years, as the country's eating habits become more health-conscious and more international foods become popular. However, it remains a well-known and beloved dish in Finnish cuisine.
